National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Contains Hidden Election Integrity Gem – Could Have Huge Implications for Voting Machines
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/ ^ | Dec. 22, 2025 | Brian Lupo

In July 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported on testimony given in a federal complaint that was filed by Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in the US District Court in Arizona. The complaint was a civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief to prohibit the use of electronic voting machines in the State of Arizona ahead of the 2022 Midterm Elections.

That complaint included testimony from a former Voting System Testing Labs contractor by the name of Clay Parikh. Parikh would go on to discover the 19-inch ballot printing error that plagued the Maricopa County 2022 midterm elections, causing massive delays and disenfranchising thousands of voters.

Parikh worked as a security tester and subject matter expert for Wyle Laboratories and Pro V&V from 2008 through 2017, and had tested hundreds of voting systems, including Dominion Voting Systems (now Liberty Vote) and ES&S voting systems.

He testified that it would take him anywhere between “five to ten minutes” to hack into these systems, with a “best time” of two and a half minutes. All of these hacks were recorded and his reports were given to the voting system test labs.

Perhaps the most concerning moment during his testimony, however, came when he was asked about hacking into the ES&S DS200:

No mail in ballots nationwide. Any state that allows for this loses their electoral count except for verified absentee ballots.

My diabetic one legged (almost) 82 year old father would then not be able to vote. He can’t drive, and it’s difficult sometimes for me to get him into and out of my truck.

No machines or early or mail-in voting nationwide. Day of, public, in-person counting of ballots only.

If this isn’t sarcasm, just get him an absentee ballot!
Problem solved.

This voting scheme, along with attempts to thwart the Electoral College, and rank choice voting need dealt with ASAP.
The Country, if it wants to continue to exist as a true representative Republic, depends on it!

I agree. States need to fund enough polls and personnel to accept and count votes in one day.

That sounds good in principle but becomes unworkable at some point.

Texas has early voting. It is in person with a required ID. It allows working people a chance to vote before or after work during the week. Imagine the chaos of every working person trying to vote between 6pm and 7pm on a T uesday. That chaos will deter many from even attempting to vote.

Limited early voting coupled with in-person application for an absentee ballot provides a good mix of security and participation.

Wouldn't prevent him from voting absentee.

Same day voting worked before they computerized it.
Plus you knew who won that night or the next morning

Absentee ballot in my county is MAIL IN BALLOT.

If you get rid of MAIL IN BALLOTs, that’s getting rid of ABSENTEE ballots.
